  • @jeffersonlabs why does it spin so much when you put the magnet on

  • @TheFindip There's very little friction to stop the magnet from spinning once it's set in motion.

  • rare-earth magnet motors and furrofluid accellorators exist. you dont need to "put in" to "get out" you can just use things with eachother so move around.

  • @11kungfu11 Of course you need to "put in" to "get out." Energy is conserved. There's no free lunch.

  • @JeffersonLab By "put in" I meant as a fuel. just like there is allways a magnetic field Around earth and our planet is vibrating and if you know about harmonics witch I think you would. You can stimulate fluid and if you do it right you can keep a drop from stabilizing with the body of water its on and if you study the motion of the fluid and say contain that "drop" and make the "fluid" a ferrofluid. contain the whole assembly with a rare eath magetdome with gold discharge wires.

  • @11kungfu11 "You can stimulate fluid" = putting energy in.

  • @jeffersonLab thanks

  • In a science museum about 200 kilometres from where I live they have suspended a magnet by putting it between an electromagnet and another magnet(I'm not sure which type). You probably guessed that it floats, and spins, the only thing stopping it from spinning is the air resistance

  • @JeffersonLab that's true to, i remember that in class energy can't be made or destroyed. it's either passive or something else. can't remember the name of that type of energy but yeah, the energy u put in is the energy u get back. or so i was told by my teacher.

  • @thmnj You can only harvest the energy that you put into it. There's no free lunch, unfortunately.
